FORGOTTEN CHILDREN SERVICE PROJECT
This year, as part of our Make It and Take It Saturday, we will also be doing a service project for the Forgotten Children organization. They are in need of baby blankets and baby bibs. If you have flannel material (any color or pattern) that you are willing to donate, please bring in to Jane Batley or Anissa Wheeler or leave a comment on this blog. We will have 5sewing machines set up in the cultural hall and if you have time to help sew in between crafting, that would be great! The Young Women will be joining us for this activity, so we will have an opportunity to work with them in helping provide a wonderful service to this organization.
